Tour Details

Kick off your family adventure by meeting your child-friendly guide near the Colosseum entrance and breezing past the ticket line with your reserved entry. After a quick ID check and security screening, your guide sets the tone with fun facts and a kid-friendly introduction to ancient Rome. Inside the Colosseum, your expert brings the world’s most famous amphitheater to life through stories of gladiator battles, wild animals, and ancient Roman crowds. Interactive quizzes and role-play keep children engaged as they walk the same arena used 2,000 years ago.

Continue through the tiers and mosaic-adorned walkways while learning how the Colosseum was built and used as Rome’s main entertainment hub.
